I went to Marrakech for Christmas a few years ago. I don’t think we had a bad meal the whole time we were there. Each dish was so wonderfully spiced and fragrant, yet not overpowering. This dish reminds me of that holiday. Oh for some sun, sat on a roof terrace, drinking Moroccan mint tea!

I marinaded the chicken overnight, you could probably get away with just toasted the spices in the pan with the chicken, but marinade if you can. I think it enhances the flavour and it always heighten the anticipation of the meal for me.

I love playing around with spices. As a child I loved it when my mum got out her silver spice tin, all those small pots filled with fragrant, colourfulness. I was even more excited when I got my own spice tin!
